Here are additional ideas from viewer feedback * Using two screens – for mentor map and work map – may be a great idea * Create a “central mentor map” with links to more specialized mentor maps * Download Mentor Maps from mappio.com * Swap between several mentor maps, using CTRL + Left / Right Arrow * Use colours to highlight the structure of the work map. You can use the function keys F3, F4, …, F10 and F1. * Combining the mentor map approach with interactive whiteboard technology may be a good idea.
